The word in the example sentence does not match the entry word. Subsequently, man replaced wer as the normal term for "a male person," but at the same time the older sense "a human being" remained in use. In the second half of the 20th century, the generic use of man to refer to "human beings in general" as in reptiles were here long before man appeared on the earth became problematic; the use is now often regarded as sexist or old-fashioned.
In some contexts, terms such as the human race or humankind may be used instead of man or mankind. Certain fixed phrases and sayings, such as time and tide wait for no man can be easily rephrased e. Alternatives for other related terms exist as well: the noun manpower , for example, can usually be replaced with staff or crew , and in most cases, the verbal form to man can be expressed as to staff or to operate. I read an interesting philosophy pertaining to the question, "What is the difference among 'human' and 'human being'?
But "human being" was described as a fictional creature, a mythical creature that is un changeable. While a human being is just not changing, which implies a fake creature that "just is", in reality humans are actually "human becomings", because we are always improving, we are growing, developing and becoming more than what we were days, hours, minutes and seconds before.
Thus, a human being is actually to put it in the way it was broken down a slave to "being" unchangeable and not free to journey and "become". In conclusion, the free refer themselves as just "human", while the ignorant slave, unwise of their choice of words, maintain that they are a "human being".

Thread starter deuruguay Start date May 10, I do not know exactly what the difference between both terms are. I would appreciate it if you could tell me which one is more suitable for the sentence below and in case one is incorrect, please let me know.
Thank you all. Mankind is a word with Germanic roots, while humanity is Latinate. They really mean the same thing here. In this era of "political correctness", though, some people like to take offense at the word "man" being used, as it has been used for more than a thousand years, to mean the human race, and "mankind" because it has "man" as its root receives similar scowls and glowers from such people.
In order to avoid the frowns of such people, you may want to use "humanity" in all instances. Last edited: May 10,
